Trump’s Election Claims Face Congressional Pushback | Buffalo News

Former President Trump dropped a fiery 26-minute speech claiming the 2020 election was rigged and unveiled newly declassified documents he says prove Chinese interference — but lawmakers are calling it a rerun. Rep. Joe Morelle and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries slammed the move, noting the intel community already reviewed these documents under Trump’s own administration and found no evidence of hacking or manipulation. Rep. Claudia Tenney hyped the documents as a “bombshell,” but Morelle pushed back, saying they don’t prove any consequential fraud.
